On Thursday nights, starting at 5:00pm and going until around 10:00pm, will host an Open Garage in which registered members of our AutogeekOnline.net Discussion Forum can sign-up to try out Autogeek’s complete arsenal of products and tools with experienced and trained experts on-hand to help you as well as show you the proper techniques for getting show car results!

The goal of these events is to give people a chance to,

  • Try out products they may have never used or even known about.
  • Learn the correct technique for applying and removing specific products or using different tools.

These classes are not for bringing your car down to do a complete detail as in machine polishing and waxing the entire car. We will show you the products and techniques using a fender or the hood and letting you learn and practice on this one section but after that you will need to finish the rest of the car at your garage. By doing this more people can get their car into the garage and learn in the limited amount of time that we have and that’s what these events are about, people learning how to detail their car, not one or two people using the garage from 5:00pm to 10:00pm to detail their entire car.

The requirements are pretty simple, to attend you must,

  1. Be a registered member with www.AutogeekOnline.net
  2. Reply to the appropriate thread for the class date you want to attend
  3. Process the $30.00 Class Fee if attending a Saturday Class and/or a Sunday Class. There is no registration fee for Thursday Night “Open Garage” classes.

“Find something you like and use it often”

New Griot's Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner 35 oz

Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner cleans and conditions auto paint after polishing to restore maximum gloss before wax application. Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner prepares the paint to accept a wax or paint sealant for the best looking, longest lasting finish. Don’t wax without it!

Professional detailers have known for years that you should use a prewax cleaner to clean and condition the paint after polishing and before applying wax or sealant. Minute polish residue can remain on the paint surface and may be difficult to remove. Richard Griot developed this Pre-Wax Cleanser so you can safely, quickly and easily prepare the paint surface to accept wax or sealant.

Made from a carefully blended combination of citrus oil and surfactants, Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner won’t harm the paint, and it is fast and easy to use. Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner instantly lifts polish residue and anything else that might interfere with the bonding of the wax or sealant. It’s especially useful for cleaning around body seams and emblems, where polish residue may tough to remove. The spray formula makes it easy to clean crevices and grooves.

Once the paint is properly cleaned and conditioned with Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner, the wax or paint sealant will bond to the paint, uninhibited. The finish will look cleaner, clearer, and the wax may even last longer.

Simply spray Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner onto a freshly polished vehicle and wipe dry with a soft microfiber towel. It’s that easy. Next apply Griot’s Garage Best of Show Wax or Paint Sealant.

Before you wax, prepare your paint finish for the best possible shine with Griot’s Garage Pre-Wax Cleaner.

New Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer

Spray wheel cleaners, all purpose cleaners, and more with the Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer. This compact pump sprayer delivers detailing chemicals to auto surfaces with an effortless continuous spray feature. The Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer is excellent for diluted concentrates and strong cleaners and degreasers. Make any detailing job easier.

The Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer’s bottle is equally durable. It’s made of super heavy-duty, 100% virgin resins. The 48 oz. bottle has extra thick walls to contain all sorts of chemicals. The large capacity is ideal for mixing up concentrated products, like all purpose cleaners.

For high volume detail shops or just large detail jobs, the Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer is a great time-saver. Mix up 48 oz. of cleaner, pump up the pressure, press the Lever-Lok and spray the desired surfaces. Trigger sprayers can become clogged or stop working altogether after a long day of detailing, but the Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer keeps spraying.

Rinse out the Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer well after each use. If you plan on using Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayers for different applications, be sure to label the bottles to avoid cross-contamination.

The Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer is a terrific value because it enables you to buy detailing products in bulk. Save money on gallons of concentrates and then mix what you need in the Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer.

The Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer saves time, saves money, and it works with a broad range of chemicals. Work smarter, not harder, with the Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer.

Another Great Wax from Dodo Juice UK

Celebrate 50 years of the Mini!
Celebrate 50 years of the Mini!

To celebrate 50 years of the Mini, Dodo Juice have created a special red, white and blue triple-layered carnauba car wax called Austintacious. What’s more – it’s the first Dodo Juice Limited Edition. Only 539 jars of wax will be produced, one for every 10,000 classic Minis made. Every wax is individually numbered at the Dodo Juice factory to guarantee authenticity.

Dodo Juice Austintacious Soft Wax might be ostentatious in the jar but it’s justified when you see it on the paint. This triple-layered blend of carnauba and other natural waxes looks incredible on all colors. All Dodo Juice waxes are made of a high percentage of the very best Brazilian carnauba, giving the waxes a deep gloss and excellent paint protection. The water-beading is outstanding.

The original Mini was produced by the British Motor Corporation in 1959 and has become an enduring symbol of the 1960’s. The Mini was originally marketed under one of BMC’s brand names: Austin, hence Austintacious Wax. The name Austin Mini was first used in 1961 and Mini has stuck through the various incarnations of the car over the last 50 years. (Non-Mini drivers may be more familiar with a certain British movie spy, but we’re pretty sure the wax is named for the car!)

Dodo Juice Austintacious Car Wax looks great on Minis and all other cars and colors.Dodo Juice Austintacious Soft Wax was developed to honor the Mini but it looks great on any vehicle. The soft wax is easy to apply and buff off. A little goes a long way.

Whether you drive a Mini or not, you’ll love the look of Dodo Juice Austintacious Soft Wax on your own vehicle. Supplies are limited so don’t delay!

New Wash Mitt from Dodo Juice

Furrier than your average wash mitt (or Wookie)!
The Dodo Juice Supernatural Wash Mitt, a.k.a. Wookie’s Fist, is the fluffiest, furriest wool wash mitt you’ll ever use. The mitt is handmade of genuine Merino wool, regarded as the finest and softest wool of any sheep. The Dodo Juice Supernatural Wash Mitt is extremely gentle on automotive surfaces and it holds plenty of soapy water for excellent paint protection.

The makers of Dodo Juice recommend using a 5 gallon wash bucket with the Dodo Juice Supernatural Wash Mitt because it soaks up a lot of water. Put a Grit Guard Insert in the bucket to further protect the paint against wash-induced swirls. Pour in a small amount of Dodo Juice Supernatural Shampoo and blend with water until sufficiently frothy. Then use the Dodo Juice Supernatural Wash Mitt to lather your vehicle. Rest assured that the long wool fibers are providing excellent protection against swirls.

The Dodo Juice Supernatural Wash Mitt is thicker than a standard wool wash mitt.

The Wookie Mitt is four times as thick as a standard sheepskin wash mitt!
